  • The Penny Arcade controversy refers to an issue in 2003, in which the webcomic Penny Arcade posted a fake video game advertisement called American McGee's Strawberry Shortcake, in reference to American McGee's Alice - a twisted and violent take on Lewis Carroll's works. American Greetings was offended by the webcomic's joke, and issued a cease-and-desist letter demanding removal of the allegedly offending content, to which the webcomic complied. Jerry Holkins (as Tycho) later issued a statement regarding the issue. They did, however, lampoon the incident by portraying an American Greetings staff as a Nazi raising a Roman salute.. In 2011 a strip entitled "Reprise" revisited the issue, due to the release of Alice: Madness Returns, another American McGee game. Gabe suggested to Tycho in the comic to parody a toy line that isn't "under constant surveillance", which resulted in a parody of Rainbow Brite.
